Still in the Woods

By Steve | Published: February 22, 2010
I try to not have too much an opinion on certain topics simply because I would rather not fuel a fire that should never have been started in the first place. I am not even a fan of golf but I am a fan of people so in this situation, I feel the need to voice an opinion of Tiger Woods. I am not going to second guess, find fault, or criticize his actions or his moral compass. While I certainly don’t agree with any of it, I’d rather not dig around in his dumpster. He did what he did and his issues are now his, and his family’s to deal with.

Descartes, Lennon, and a Priest

By Steve | Published: February 10, 2010
I have recently reconnected with a few more old college friends and every time I think back to my Cabrini College days I am flooded with great memories of wonderful people and great times. Admittedly, I was not the model student or citizen back then but I wasn’t too far off track and I certainly don’t regret anything I did or didn’t do back then. I know all of my experiences have helped shape who I have become. There are two memories however that always seem to stand out as being the most meaningful that I know will remain with me forever.

Speaking of That

By Steve | Published: February 5, 2010
I am often asked to share “my story”. You know the one…. Healthy triathlon guy gets leukemia. Healthy triathlon guy gets treated and reaches remission. Healthy triathlon guy resumes racing. Healthy triathlon guy becomes a triathlon coach for Team in Training and an advocate for the disease. The end… err, no …. To be continued….

We Remember

By Steve | Published: January 30, 2010
It is January 30th, and today marks the 8th year of the tragic killing of Upper Darby Police Officer Dennis McNamara. This year, Dennis was again remembered with a brief memorial service at Arlington Cemetery in Drexel Hill PA. Of course we had to stop by and we saw the usual faces....cop friends, detective buddies, local politicians, a reporter that we have become friendly with, and of course Dennis' widow and two kids were all there not to mourn, but to remember, embrace, and celebrate a life.

Racing for Recovery

By Steve | Published: January 29, 2010
I want to introduce you all to a friend of mine. Todd Crandell and I met several years ago when I interviewed him for a piece for Transitiontimes.com. That interview bloomed into a good friendship which brought him to Philly to race the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon.

Criminal Behavior

By Steve | Published: January 21, 2010
Perhaps the title of this post is a bit bold but I have always said it’s criminal if people have the means and ability to give back and make a difference, and don’t do anything. For years I have watched the salaries of professional athletes skyrocket to the point of ridiculous, obscene, and yes – criminal.
